One morning after the storm, a man came to the river for a walk. Walking along the coast, he noticed that there were many small fish washed ashore by last night's storm in the shallow water pit of the beach. They are trapped in shallow puddles and can't return to the sea, although they are close at hand. There may be hundreds of small fish trapped. Before long, the water in the shallow water pit will be sucked dry by sand and evaporated by the sun, and these small fish will all die.

The man went ahead. He suddenly saw a little boy walking slowly in front, bending over every puddle-he was picking up the small fish in the puddle and throwing them back into the sea. The man stopped and stared at the little boy, watching him save the fish's life.

Finally, the man couldn't help walking over: "son, there are hundreds of small fish in this puddle. You can't save them."

"I know." The little boy replied without looking up.

"oh? Then why are you still throwing? Who cares? "

"This little fish cares!" The boy replied, picked up a small fish and threw it into the sea. "This care, this care, and this, this, this. ...

……

In the little boy's resounding answer, I seem to see a pair of timid, begging little eyes silently shouting to me: teacher, your care, the care of top students, the care of middle students, and us, we underachievers care more!

In the process of human cognition, there is a set effect: the good is always good, and the bad is always bad. As the old saying goes, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can make a hole". This greatly hinders our teachers from doing their work better, which is a fatal blow to the underachievers. Therefore, we remind ourselves again and again that people always have advantages. Einstein and Newton both changed from ugly ducklings to white swans. But how to treat these problems correctly? All these will involve the understanding of the transformation of underachievers.

First, understand the underachievers.

We all believe that the phrase "no one is perfect, and there is no shortage of gold", together with the fingers on one hand, has a length, let alone a person. Every class has some underachievers, who are either backward in thinking, learning or both. Every educator is trying every means to change them. Progress is our greatest wish, but. The facts are often unsatisfactory. In practice, I often encounter headaches. For example, some students are naughty or talking to themselves in class and playing with school supplies; Some students delay their homework; Some of them are not distributed. So, I made a survey of students with poor learning, and there are roughly several situations:

1, type of misconduct. I am often distracted and hyperactive in class.

2. Bad study habits. Nobody is in charge at home, and I don't pay attention to my study. I think playing is more interesting than doing homework.

3. Insufficient physical ability. This kind of students are what we often call "stupid" students. Some of them are influenced by congenital factors, and some of them are out of tune, which may lead to what students call "stupid".

There are many reasons for underachievers, but their bad morals and habits are gradually formed in long-term life. It is a great test for teachers to change the underachievers, which is related to a teacher's ideological problem: what kind of mentality to face these students?

Underachievers are both disgusted and sensitive to the teacher's education. If we use simple and rude reprimand again, it will accelerate his psychological formula of "breaking the jar and breaking the fall"; However, empty preaching or high-profile bad singing is not contagious, and it has become accustomed to it and is indifferent, failing to achieve the educational goal. The full implementation of the new curriculum also requires our teachers to establish a correct view of students. Establish a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students. To break the old idea that students must obey their teachers, we must first turn teachers into friends and put teachers and students on an equal footing. This is the embodiment of socialist interpersonal relationship. Teachers should be good at making friends with students, cultivate students' subjective consciousness as equal friends in the process of education, and let students participate in educational processes and activities equally. The second is to change the authority of teachers and respect students. Teachers' respect for students is a necessary prerequisite for educating students. Using teachers' position to establish authority and require students to obey will inevitably suppress students' initiative. Teachers respect students, be good at making friends with students, encourage students to make progress, and discover students' success and achievements, which can be the source of motivation for students to learn actively. Therefore, teachers must approach them actively, make friends with them, talk about topics they are interested in, and take them to participate in meaningful extracurricular activities. Changing the tense and embarrassing atmosphere in the office, coupled with the teacher's confidence, makes it easy for them to open their closed and fragile hearts and speak their minds. Teachers can easily learn their personality characteristics from it. In school life, as long as you care twice as much, you can feel the teacher's love for yourself, so that the distance between teachers and students will be shortened step by step and the feelings will gradually be harmonious. Only by taking this basic step can we carry out effective continuing education.

During my lunch break, I was walking on campus and saw several senior boys bullying a junior girl not far ahead. I was just about to stop when I saw Zhao, the boy who gave me the most headache in my class, standing in the middle: It's over, something will happen again! In normal times, I would have taken a step forward. But I still stopped: "teacher, give me a chance, I will take care of my hands and stop bullying my classmates." A few days ago, his serious appearance appeared in front of my eyes to see how he fulfilled his promise. "Why do you bully your little classmates?" A loud drink stunned several senior boys. They looked at each other and went straight away. Leaving him to pat the crying little girl on the shoulder, he took her hand and walked to the classroom. I stood there alone, lost in thought. Respect made the most perfect answer at the moment of hesitation. The child is looking for his own way to grow up. Later, I saw him sitting in his seat watching his classmates play. Although he is envious, he is reluctant to leave his post. I was very surprised. Hearing this, he just smiled faintly: "Teacher, I was a little itchy, and I was afraid I couldn't control myself, so I just …" This sentence came from a first-year student. As his teacher, what is more worth showing off?

Second, stimulate interest.

Confucius, a great educator in our country, said, "The knower is not as good as the doer, and the doer is not as good as the musician." Einstein also said when talking about the secret of success: "Interest is the best teacher." Even Nie Weiping, a famous chess player in China, said, "It was interest that brought me into the world of Go." Numerous successful examples tell us that interest really has wonderful power. It makes people discover brilliance from the plain, and it can bring courage, confidence, motivation and success. Therefore, in order to let the underachiever get rid of the backward hat in whole or in part, we must first stimulate his interest in learning.

In view of the different situations of underachievers, I actively guide and formulate different remedial measures and teaching plans from their reality, stimulate their self-motivation and curiosity, and let them experience the happiness of learning from success. After understanding the specific situation of underachievers, we need to do patient and meticulous ideological work before class, and also carefully study the teaching materials. According to the specific content of teaching and the actual situation of underachievers, we should determine a careful teaching plan, so that every student can understand the new knowledge taught in class, understand the internal relationship between old and new knowledge, and guide students to self-adjust their learning psychology.

In the teaching process, while facing all students, according to the characteristics of underachievers, special attention should be paid to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. I pay attention to simple explanations when teaching content, so as to be easy to understand and concise in language; Ask more underachievers, and some simple questions are answered by underachievers; Find out the problems of underachievers in their studies in time and give them timely counseling. In the classroom, we should pay special attention to respecting students, establish the confidence of underachievers in learning, and make underachievers fully realize the importance of learning and stimulate their enthusiasm for learning through vivid and infectious examples.

I remember last year in a very ordinary Chinese class, because of the full preparation before class, the atmosphere in the class was active, and even the students who had been bowing their heads and not saying anything looked up and listened attentively. I gave her an approving smile happily; In the students' wonderful answers again and again, I found him reminding the overexcited deskmate of classroom discipline. I smiled and gave her a second encouragement: when I asked, "Who wants to read the text to teachers and classmates?" At this time, this girl, who is usually silent and can't talk when she burns her ass, suddenly raised her hand high. I can't hide my surprise. I smiled and said that her excellent performance surprised the teacher, but I didn't intend to call her name. She was so anxious that she couldn't help shouting, "Teacher, I'm coming!" " "I hesitate, because this reading is exemplary, that is, students should actively evaluate and practice reading after reading. Can he do it? Will it bring regret to my class? I still called her name in confusion: maybe her future success is because she fully demonstrated her strengths in class today, and she has a hundred times confidence in herself! " ... is there really no sound at the bottom of the sea? That's not true. As soon as you listen to the water receiver, you will hear all kinds of sounds: some are like bees buzzing, some are like birds barking, and some are like puppies barking. When they eat, they make one sound, when they travel, they make another sound ... "Her voice rang in my ear, and her expression was in line with the contents of the text. I don't know what I thought at that time, but I heard a burst of warm applause in the classroom after she read the text. I am very happy with my choice! From then on, she held up her little hand and answered loudly in class; Her thin footprints were left on the playground, and the air was filled with happy and immature laughter from her and her classmates. Later, I asked her why she raised her hand so eagerly. She said, "Teacher, you gave me three smiles. Your smile is really beautiful. I know I can read, I can read well, and you can smile more beautifully! "My eyes blurred. She finally "got rid of difficulties and became rich"! !

Third, prevent duplication.

Generally speaking, the transformation of underachievers goes through four stages: awakening, transformation, repetition and consolidation. Repetition refers to making mistakes after transformation. This is a normal phenomenon. If you get better after education, there will be no underachievers. At this time, it is time to test the teacher. If you are relaxed and discouraged at this time, it may lead to all previous efforts being wasted. At this time, as long as we can find out the causes of repetition, find out the positive factors and change the means of education, we can completely pull them back. In view of this situation, Ding Youkuan, a teacher of Liulian Primary School in Chaozhou City, Guangzhou, and a national excellent class teacher, did so. Naughty Xiao Liu was originally the monitor, but he was re-elected because of his poor performance. After Mr. Ding took over as the head teacher, he found that he had both ability and expertise. He has changed after a period of education. Teacher Ding appointed him captain of the Young Pioneers. He won the trust of his teacher and brought his strengths into play. He soon became better and became the backbone of the class. But in a rehearsal of a literary program, a classmate satirized him and he hit that classmate. After the incident, when Mr. Ding talked with him, he didn't let him stand and was reprimanded. Instead, kindly ask him to sit down, point out his mistakes, educate him to correct them seriously, and let him continue to direct the rehearsal. In this way, he sincerely admitted his mistake and made a review. I learned from Mr. Ding's practice to deal with Wu Xicong's recent two absences from class. These two repetitions are actually different: the first time was because the parents were on a business trip and didn't explain the situation. The child was still young, so he cried and looked around and didn't finish his homework. He didn't come because he was afraid of the teacher's criticism, which is different from playing games without doing his homework. The second time, because of a cold and fever, I asked my classmates for help, but they forgot. Later, I took the initiative to ask the teacher to explain and take the initiative to make up my homework, which is very different from the previous absence from class for no reason. It is not a simple repetition, but a spiral rise. After finding out the reason, according to his psychological characteristics, I took a calm approach for the first time, talked with him and found out the problem, and used the method of "ignoring" appropriately for the second time, which achieved ideal results.

Fourth, family education is a supplement.

From the education of "starting point of life", the level of family education determines the starting point of children's life. Children obviously show the effect of different family education from the beginning of entering the park and school, and the family plays a preliminary role in shaping their growth. Yan Zhitui, an ancient educator in China, said: "Life is young and spiritual. When you grow up, you should think about it and escape. You must teach early and don't miss the opportunity. " As far as formative education is concerned, family education accompanies children to adulthood and exerts a subtle influence on the effectiveness of school education and social education. Lu Shiyi, a scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, also thought: "The first thing to teach a child is to manage the family well, and the second is to choose a teacher. If you can't manage your family well, your son loves to laugh and talk since he was a child. Although he has a good teacher, he is difficult to teach. " In particular, the early influence of family education is the necessary foundation for children's future growth. Therefore, family education must be closely coordinated with school education, and at the same time, family education can also make up for some regrets of school education.

Cao Chenxi is becoming more and more famous as a troublemaker in his class. He doesn't do his homework and bullies his classmates every day. Originally, the results were not particularly ideal, but they could keep up with the middle level, and their performance in discipline was good. What makes a first-grade child change so much? What I learned through home visits surprised me: his parents didn't know anything about it! It turns out that both of them are busy at work these days and have no time to take care of the children. Children are responsible for their daily life, and all their spare time belongs to their own discretion. Children who are not in control are like kites with broken lines. They lose their direction, wander around and play with some children. They can't learn well, but there are a lot of bad ones. In view of this situation, my parents and I have made the same education plan: I am responsible for supervising the children's study and life during their working hours, and one of them must take time out to care for the children after work. After a period of hard work, children's life and study gradually returned to the right track.

Fifth, the prospect of underachievers.

In the face of innovative education, underachievers and top students are equal, and their innovative potential is equally profound. The key is how you explore. There is a poor child in Canada, Johnny. Because of his low IQ, he always falls behind in his studies, so the school has to persuade him to drop out of school. In order to comfort him, the school invited a psychologist to talk to him once. The psychologist told him that it was possible that the engineer didn't know the notation, or that the painter couldn't recite all nine tables. Just because you were expelled from school doesn't mean you are worthless. Everyone has a specialty, and you are no exception. One day, you will find your own specialty. By then, you will make your parents proud. These words have a great influence on him. Later, he cleaned the nursery and trimmed flowers and plants for many years. Twenty years later, he became a famous and respected landscape gardener in China. Teacher Tan Di 'ao of Changsha No.9 Middle School once said, "Everyone is creative." He is kind to every student and tries to develop everyone's creative potential. On average, he helps students complete two small inventions every week and gets an award every month. The example of obtaining three national patents every year is a strong proof.

Simply put, quality education is an education that teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, not an education with average development, not to mention an education with all-round development. Not every student can be a success. The practice of demanding consistency seriously stifles the personality of the top students, only encourages the underachievers and hurts their self-esteem and self-motivation. Therefore, we should pay attention to the shortcomings of underachievers and the particularity of students' personality, and open up a variety of possibilities for students' personalized development, so that each student can give full play to his strengths.

I still remember the little boy's answer: "This little fish cares! This cares, and this cares! And this, this, this. ...
